COURSE NAME: General Physics II with Calculus COURSE NUMBER: PHY 2524 SCIENCE DEPARTMENT: Jefferson Davis Campus Stephen Roberts, Chair SEMESTER CREDIT HOURS: Four Semester Credit Hours CONTACT HOURS: LECTURE: Three Hours LABORATORY: Two Hours PREREQUISITES: PHY 2514 COURSE DESCRIPTION: A combined lecture and laboratory course covering electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. This is a calculus-based course primarily for students of engineering, science, or mathematics. Labs associated with this course contain experiments and exercises that reinforce the principles introduced in lecture classes. TEXTBOOK: Physics for Scientists and Engineers. 6th^ ed. Swerway and Jewett.
LABORATORY MANUAL: Laboratory Experiments in College Physics. Seventh Edition. Bernard and Epp CORE OBJECTIVES / TOPICS: Core topics to be covered in all General Physics II-A lecture classes: a. electricity b. magnetism c. optics d. modern physics The following course objectives cover the minimum core topics that are listed above for this course. Additional objectives are taught at the discretion of the instructor.
